Defense Acquisitions: Restructured JTRS Program Reduces Risk, but Significant Challenges Remain
In 1997, the Department of Defense (DOD) initiated the Joint
Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program, a key element of its effort
to transform military operations to be network centric. Using
emerging software-defined radio technology, the JTRS program
plans to develop and procure hundreds of thousands of radios that
give warfighters the capability to access maps and other visual
data, communicate via voice and video, and obtain information
directly from battlefield sensors. The JTRS program has
encountered a number of problems, resulting in significant delays
and cost increases. The program is currently estimated to total
about $37 billion. Given the criticality of JTRS to DOD's force
transformation, Congress directed GAO to continue its ongoing
review of the JTRS program. This report (1) assesses whether a
recent restructuring puts the program in a better position to
succeed and (2) identifies any risks that challenge the
successful fielding of JTRS.
